SYNC Services. Maybe you’ve heard of it, maybe you haven’t, but everyone’s wondering- what are these thingies? Let me break it down.

In a nutshell, what are SYNC Services?
SYNC Services is a complimentary 3-year service that provides drivers with weather forecasts, the latest sports scores, turn-by-turn navigation, traffic reports, and more! These services are registered online and accessed through a paired phone in the vehicle.

How do I know if I am eligible for the SYNC Services?
SYNC Services are complimentary for three years when you purchase a vehicle with the MyFordTouch or MyLincolnTouch System. When purchasing a used vehicle with the MFT system, it will only be complimentary if the previous owner did not already register the VIN number.

How do I register for SYNC Services, and what do I need?To register for SYNC Services, go syncmyride.com. On the top right corner of the screen, click “Log In/Register” in the blue box. From here, choose whether you are a Ford or Lincoln owner. Finally, on the log-in screen, you will see a blue line stating, “Don’t have an account? Sign up now.” Click here!

To register, you will need: Full Name, Address, Mobile Number of Primary Synced Phone, Email Address, and VIN Number. Don’t forget to write down your username/password, and stick it in your manual so you don’t forget!

How do I personalize my online SYNC Services account?After you register your account, you will be brought your account homescreen.
